 From Tom Dyer. who returned from Volcano City yesterday, the Epitapt glesned the following information ir reference to this famous silver district Mr. Dwyer Is sn old and a respected Tombstone man, and one whose word can be relIed upon,
 | Too Volcano mine, of which so much has nesa written, Is gradually develop. | ing Into one or the finest mines in the west. The main shaft is, it is true, only | down little over one hundred feet, but ! II i+ ID Ca fine character Oi ore the entire | distCccr. IEe owners of the property are energetic. live business men. and are pushing th5 mine tO its fullest ca | pacity. The south drift IS a marvel In making ihIs drift they encountered large body of ore, the width of winch was
 UPWARDS OF SEVEN FEET.
 This ddtt they continued for upwards l ot seventy feet, and the width of the ledge uOr the richness of the rock never sbate1. The ore in the drift contains A large amount of horn silver. and of cOurse it2Is very rich. There has been more good ore taken from this drift than from any other cut of similar di- mensIOns in the country. The south drift, the dimensions Of which are seven and one-half feet by fifty, IS Also in nne ore. There IS large quantity of horn silver in this portion of the mine and every indication marks the Volcano as one of the best mines of the country There is at the present time nearly
 ONE HUNDRED TONS
 of ore Cn the dump, and the company are making preparations for shipping it to SucorrO tO be worked. The Martha mine ls an extension of the Volcano, and there has been considerable de- velopments made on this property. The mine Is looking we'll. and bids fair to rival the Volcano. The fortunate own CTS of the claim are satisfied with their chances and will bids their time. One ot the noted mines of this district is the
 JOHN SMITH,
 Jt IS one of the most promising pros- peets ID New Mexico. The character of the ore ID thls mine IS very similar 10 that of the Volcsno, There is a sbaft nfty feet m depth on this claim all in ore. Some thirty assays taken from the ledge al depth of fifty feet gave re. turn Of an average of Sl6S per ton. The ledge at the bottom of the shaft, IS nearly siK feet, and horn silver can be found in almost every piece. The own CTS or this property are working con- slderaoly many men at present, and l intend employing many more ID & short tune. The mine IS owned by W. A, Herwood, John Heating.

The depth of this shaft | IS tifty-seven feet, and 1t Is a very promis- ing prospect, James Coyle, one of l Iombstone's old boys, is there, and has | made
 LUCKY HIT n one of the many prospects in which | he IS interested. The claim IS near the | railroad. and IS shOwing some fine, rich | rock. COyle IS a general fevorite in the | camp, and the boys are all rejoicing st his apparent good fortune. JIm IS work ing hard on his new find, and being a | lgst class miner, will soon determine whether there is any virtue in his pros psct or not. Henry Fry IS also the hap py possessOr of 6 fine claim, adjoining | the John Smith. Mir. Fry has not de- | velOped his prospect to any great ex. tent, but enough has been done 10 | ascertain that it IS on the main lead, and | will undoubtedly make Fry a happy roaa yet, Take it all ID all this Is the most
